Welcome to the Forgotten Pew Podcast with hosts Bob Rodgers and Caleb Hilbert. Join us as we dive deep into the pressing, yet often overlooked, challenges facing today’s church. In an era where consumerism seeps into sanctuaries, many congregations find themselves vying to put on "the best show in town." This trend not only prioritizes preference and prestige over true discipleship but also raises critical questions about the true sources of authority in our churches—be it scripture, individual leaders, or cultural trends.
In our discussions, we’ll unpack the impact of consumer-driven approaches and champion a shift towards authentic discipleship and stronger community bonds. We celebrate the churches and individuals who swim against the current of consumerism, aiming to uplift and empower the often-overlooked faithful in the pews. Whether you’re on your daily commute, waiting in the carpool line, or enjoying a quiet moment at home, we invite you to join us in exploring meaningful ways to engage deeper with your faith community and rediscover the heart of true worship and fellowship.
